'A Return to Love'

What a wonderful book "A Return to Love" is. Published in 1993, it is Marianne Williamson's popular book about what we are all learning to do here...as the Nada Surf song says....to "Always Love." This lesson seems simple enough, but in practice, it is excruciatingly difficult. So it's a life-long lesson that we keep written on our hearts. I know I do, and when I forget, God reminds me. How many, many times have I been placed in a situation that tests my commitment to Love. Oh, yeah, we say. I got it. I got it. But do we? Ha! He is a relentless God. Always perfecting Himself. Don't expect to ever get off the hook.

And how blessed we are to be children of God. The only joy to be found in the world is in His Love. No compromises people. If we are to build a better world, we need to work it. Her book contains that famous quote from "A Course in Miracles" largely, and incorrectly, attributed to Nelson Mandela: "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."

I read her book and then I picked it up immediately and started reading in again...do it! God bless you, Marianne. Another go-to-source book for this soul journey.
